It's been a year and a half since my last real Instagram post. This isn't the greatest photo, but I had to (re)start somewhere.

Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm a second-generation ad guy who likes waking up and doing something different almost every single day, which makes advertising a pretty great fit. I like traveling, riding bikes and motorcycles, hitting tennis balls, playing video games, and absorbing as many great tv shows, movies, concerts as possible.

Over the course of my career I’ve had the privilege of working on both big and small clients like Subaru, Bush’s Baked Beans, Schwan’s Brands, Helzberg Diamonds, US Bank, Jack Link's, Chipotle, Walgreens, car2go, Texas Department of Health, Pacifico Beer, ShopHouse, Avocados From Mexico, Goodyear and plenty of others.
